I'm not aware of a PKCS#11 provider being available at this point.

One option would be for a provider to provide provider-storemgmt

OSSL_STORE from the application to load a private key from that special
URI.

Another, rather simplistic, approach would be to use the
EVP_PKEY_fromdata() function. In that case you'd have to know what the
key algorithm are you using. You'd then use EVP_PKEY_CTX_new_from_name
with query properties to include "provider=your_provider" and the
params used with EVP_PKEY_fromdata() would contain just the special id
parameter that the provider would use to identify the private key from
the device.
The specific example is for PKCS11.

Is there a PKCS11 provider available to be used?
